there is allot going against this film but i can't help but kinda like it.
kevin spacey as lex luthor is excellent and i like brandon routh as superman. the rest of the cast is oke. not terrible but not amazing.
i liked that olsen and perry white got a bit more screentime then the 4 movies before this.
the cinematography is fine but it was really close to looking actually good.
the score is also good but like the rest of the film, it sticks to much to the christopher reeve timeline and sense of wonder to the point it doesn't have much of its own identity.
but despite all that, i think its almost good.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grand, earnest superhero epic that balances world-saving spectacle with intimate emotional stakes, Superman grapples with what it means to be abandoned and to return home. It's as much a meditation on connection and sacrifice as it is a showcase of superhuman power.
